Sound to light question?

[things]

Hi, I remember in the old freestyler, the sound to light program would pick up audio from media players directly, and not just through the microphone. Is there any way to do this with the current sound to light program? I ask because I don't really like bridging my audio output into my microphone input via a cable ...

EDIT: Nevermind, answered my own question. Go to control panel, click "Sound", click the recording tab, and in the white space, right click and click "Show disabled devices". "Stereo mix" then shows up, set it to default, and it'll pick it up in sound 2 light This is for Windows 7.

Regards,
Dan

Yep, thats the only good way to do that.

Is this the same for Windows XP, as I am currently running a cable from my mixer to my sound cards ins.

As I remember in Windows XP you also have the stereo mix. It also appears at the recording devices. So have a try if you can use it.

Its the same for just about ALL the OS-es. Its the driver of the audiocard that lets you have (or not have) the option to be able to 'record' from the stereo-mix output. Next to that some OS-es (like windows Vista) like to hide that option really deep somewhere, so you'll just need to find it.
Google for "record audio from stereo output" or similar should get everyone started.

Don't be fooled about the 'record' word. You ARE recording audio when you start the sound to light tool. The audio just is not saved to disk but goes to /dev/null after its processed to beats.
